yeah thats with drag radial tires. 11.2 with stock tires. still very fast, but you never see the results these magazines get in the real world with actual owners. at least i never do.

also about 2-3 mph better than a STOCK m5 thats down 150 hp.

wonder what the price is? probably over 75k up here in canada.

Therefore, that means we will never see the 11.9 - 12.0 second 1/4 mile @ 122 MPH from the M5/M6 Competition Package, which most magazines claim? Just curious if those magazine biases only apply to the HellCat?

Love the concept as well, but concur that 500 is still way too generous for valets. I'd like to see the total HP halved to 350 for valet mode, which is more than the 305 HP from the base model SXT model - the car will have no problem navigating traffic with 350 HP IMO.

"7. Speaking of reigning in power, the Hellcat is the first Dodge to feature two keys — a red and a black version. The red key unleashes all 707 horsepower and every one of the Hellcat’s numerous performance settings for suspension, steering and traction control. The black key limits peak power to “just” 500 while keeping engine rpm below 4000 and the transmission out of first gear (with no paddle shifter control).
